The Presidents Numbers

I hear the presidents popularity has sunk below that of Nixon right before his resignation. If so why doesn't it feel the same way? When Nixon went down I was working at a summer camp that was really a treatment center for behaviorally disordered kids. We were so busy it was like, "Nixon's gonna resign tonight", "Really??", "Yeah really, Watergate remember??", "Oh yeah, wanna go in town for a beer tonight??
I guess those must have been the good old days when a politician was actually punished when caught engaging in underhanded and illegal acts. Nixon was considered sleazy for taping his guests conversations and phone calls. Bush has been taping and spying on EVERYONE he feels like and the consequence is low poll numbers. No impeachment, no censure, no resignation, no nothing...
I suppose something could happen in the next two years that would expose him for the puppet he is but if throwing the constitution out the window and being responsible for the deaths of over 2000 US soldiers and countless Iraqi citizens while blowing several trillion dollars in a war that we have no business fighting doesn't do the trick then what the hell will??
